[quote=@Vec] [@Kho][@Cyclone]So, have we passed the 15 billion years mark? [/quote] What was decided upon at the start of this turn again? 12.2 billion or some odd number, IIRC? Considering that the Hain are now about we can't have many more gigantic timeskips. At absolute most 100 million years would have passed I say, but in reality not many events on a huge scale happened so I am tempted to drop it as low as 20,000 years having passed this turn. That would allow for the existing lifeforms and races to proliferate without creating an appreciable tech jump. Since Hain already have primitive housing and speech, a big time jump would bring us into the medieval times if not modern technology levels. At this point I doubt we'll ever increment more than 100,000 years per turn again, and while that sort of breaks the star mechanic you made for Ull I don't want to have the entire timeline revolving around that. If we go for realism and making sense here, Ull will probably remain in his current phase for the forseeable future. So to answer your question Vec, we shouldn't be anywhere near 15 billion years and might never get there :lol Anybody else care to weigh in on this?
